Sit Up Test

Sit-Up Assessment: This assessment measures abdominal muscular endurance. The objective of the sit-up assessment is to complete as many correct sit-ups as possible in 60 seconds.

Procedure: The candidate starts by lying on the back, knees bent, heels flat on the floor, with hands cupped behind the ears. Avoid pulling on the head with the hands. The buttocks must remain on the floor with no thrusting of the hips.

Candidate’s feet will be held down firmly on the floor. The candidate will perform as many correct sit-ups as possible in one minute. In the up position, the candidate should touch elbows to knees and then return until the shoulder blades touch the floor. The score is the total number of correct sit-ups. Any resting must be done in the up position.
